Jump threat shuts down Coronado bridge

The San Diego-Coronado Bridge was closed for about two hours yesterday after a man climbed on a rail and indicated he might jump, the California Highway Patrol said.

The bridge was shut down in both directions from 5:50 to about 7:50 p.m. after the unidentified man was persuaded to surrender to authorities. He was taken to a county health facility for evaluation, the CHP said.
